Haha, unspecified "copper alloy" sounds like salesman-speak to me. All the brass ones are "copper alloy". I think they are good ground clamps but the copper alloy is a salesman doubletalk.---Meltedmetal

my guess is that TWECO chose a suitable alloy from a mechanical and conductivity standpoint... they have been in business for a long time and their clamps perform very well...
I have several of them and like them a lot..

I'm not dissing Tweco products, I think they are fine. What I'm saying is that not everything a salesman or sales team comes up with is really 100% relative. We have cast some copper in the past as anode hooks and I know it presents some challenges but I'm sure that if Tweco wanted 100% copper ground clamps they or someone else would make them. There are likely many good reasons that they use the alloy that they use but the copper reference imho is just salesmanship and doesn't really mean what the customer may be led to believe. You may infer that I don't always trust salesmen.---Meltedmetal

No Argument...

sales people always seem feel a need to exagerate... even if what they already have is excellent..
go figure..
